Beautiful
Publié le 7 sept. 2024 sur HomeAwayWhat a great property to relax and enjoy beautiful Lake Kabatogama. Large deck overlooking the lake with windows that provide a scenic view all day long. Amazing!
We were able to leave 2 out of our 3 boats at the dock throughout our stay. We used the local campground to overnight the 3rd boat.

The best boating in the upper Midwest
Publié le 22 août 2024 sur HomeAwayI can't really make a complaint about the house or with the communication with the owner. I found the property was as advertised and the internet was better than expected.
For those looking to stay in this remote area, remember to pack enough to wear since there won't be a place to do laundry. I just would hand wash a t-shirt or socks when needed and line dry on the deck.
If you are bringing a boat, take this part seriously. This property is tight. Look, the whole area around Kabetogama is granite with thin soil. In my case I am towing an 18' boat on a twin axle with a 4Runner. I could pull into the communal drive way and park next to the home but backing out was a process. I couldn't back out and make a turn to the driver side. I would clip a tree or not make it up the steep incline on the drivers side. Going to the passenger side just set me up to back all the way down the communal drive way. This method would include a hill, a curve and keeping the train between large rocks at the end of the driveway. The only option for us was to back up straight and use some wood pieces under the trailer tires to lift the trailer up and over a rock and then you had some space to back up further and point your tow rig down the driveway.
If you have a 16' boat on a single axle trailer and a quarter ton with a 6' bed you could sort this out differently. If you are longer than this example, good luck. I was blessed without rain that would have further complicated things.

Thank you Holly and Tim! It was a pleasure having you at Echo. We understand the rocks and backing for those especially new to backing with a trailer. We suggest to our guests if they want they can leave their boat trailer at the launch. It's done all the time. :) we hope the video we made for you helped with your request for your boat lift directions. thanks again for staying at Echo. Happy Travels!!

Follow up
Publié le 18 août 2024 sur HomeAwayWe had a good week. Couple of items:
1. We broke a wine glass and we needed 2 small glass storage containers to take back some fancy chutney and bean dip made by vegan family members.
2. You had agreed to provide a check for about $100 based on a new pricing policy you created for additional guests. Please adjust that check for items in 1.
3. Please update me on timing of check. THANKS!

Great place!
Publié le 19 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayThe property exceeded our expectations in so many ways! First of all it is so peaceful and the views are amazing!! It has a great porch, and both floors have huge windows, so even when we were inside, we could enjoy the sunsets and stars.
They have a perfect sitting area downstairs. It has a couple chairs facing the windows, and you can put your feet up and have coffee in the mourning. It is shown in the picture- one of my sons showing the other how to tie a knot on a fishing pole.
Upstairs has a great sitting area as well. A chair perfect for reading, a table where one of my sons did a Lego set, and an extra bed for naps.
They have games and puzzles. There is a paddle boat and a canoe. We enjoyed watching our teenagers go across to the island and do the rope swing. Perfect distance- far enough to be an adventure, but close enough to swim if they had too.
We did day trips- international falls/ Canada. Bear sanitary in Orr was a highlight of the trip. We were able to do breakfast with the bears. We also went to a wolf sanctuary in Ely. We were going to do the mine there too, but it was closed do to flooding. We also did a boat tour through the national parks to kettle falls and short hikes.
Perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Hosts were great- they decorated for July 4th, left wildflower bouquets, and were very helpful- they even mailed us backed a Canada sweatshirt my son left for no extra charge. We would definitely return!

I’m so happy to hear the kids made use of the canoe and rope swing and of the table upstairs!! Kelly was so nice to work with and we definitely invite you and your family back if you want a trip to the north country.

Paradise in Paradise
Publié le 10 juill. 2023 sur HomeAwayWe are long time cabin owners on Lake Kabetogama and needed a place for my husband’s nurse to stay for our two week visit. From the initial contact Julie and Arvin could not have been more communicative and kind. I got a chance to spend time with them and they are both lovely people with a passion for their time at the lake. The home is beautiful, clean and well-appointed and the location and view is amazing. If you are traveling to Voyageurs National Park and Lake Kabetogama you need to check their home out and book it! Thanks, Julie and Arvin for a fabulous stay!

We had fun
Publié le 24 juin 2023 sur HomeAwayLoved the sunrise looking over the bay every morning before we headed out fishing. We enjoyed the flowers leading to the dock and bullfrog pond. And we caught fish every time we went out. An amazing time

Serene Northwoods Getaway
Publié le 17 juin 2023 sur HomeAwayOur family had booked a week to stay at Echo Retreat for early June 2022, but we were forced to cancel due to the epic flooding they had. Arvin and Julie graciously rescheduled our booking to the same week 2023. We are so appreciative of their stellar communication, both this year and last.
We enjoyed the spaciousness of this beautiful lake home, as well as the privacy and the gorgeous view of Lake Kabetogoma. It had everything we needed for our stay, from a fully-stocked kitchen to lots of hooks on the walls to ample comfortable seating. The huge deck was ideal for relaxing with a book and a glass of wine. The temperature in the house was always comfortable, whether we needed the AC or the heat (and we needed both!), and there was plenty of hot, pressurized water for our showers (conserving water was not an issue at all). Sadly, the dock was not usable since it was nearly entirely underwater, rendering it useless to us. Fortunately, we had rented a boat from Northern Lights Resort and Outfitters (another fantastic place we recommend), which was located just up the road, so it wasn't too much of a hassle. There were lots of fish to be caught on the lake, the gravel roads were perfect for walking, and the coffee and ice cream at the nearby Pine Ridge Gift Shop were a special treat!
Thank you so much, Arvin and Julie, for entrusting your property to us for a much-needed Northwoods retreat!

Thank you Nicole for taking time to review your stay at Echo and for hanging in there with the higher the average Lake levels. We have some plans in place for dock alterations to be better prepared for the flocculating lake levels. You and your family are welcome back any time.
